Question

lamonte collected data on the average rainfall, in inches (in.), in florida for 6 months during 2021, as shown in the table. he wants to create a line graph with his data.

month	1	2	3	4	5	6

use the connect line tool to create a line graph of the data.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall average formula

The formula for the average (arithmetic - mean) of a set of numbers is $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_{i}}{n}$, where $x_{i}$ are the individual data - points and $n$ is the number of data - points. Here, $n = 6$, and the data - points are $x_1=8.5$, $x_2 = 9.0$, $x_3=9.0$, $x_4 = 7.0$, $x_5=4.0$, $x_6=3.0$.

Step2: Calculate the sum of the data

$\sum_{i = 1}^{6}x_{i}=8.5 + 9.0+9.0 + 7.0+4.0+3.0=40.5$.

Step3: Calculate the average

$\bar{x}=\frac{40.5}{6}=6.75$.

Answer:

$6.75$
